In 1946, sixteen-year-old David Harmony should have inherited a fortune when his father died. Instead, he vanished at sea the same night. In 1962, an elderly attorney hires an actor to pretend to be David. He claims the man about to receive the Harmony estate killed David. The actor suspects the attorney isn't telling him everything but agrees to act as bait. Then he falls for a woman who knows he's an imposter, who can reveal his identity to the one person she shouldn't. The murderer. In an era of clacking typewriters and rotary phones, gentlemen tip hats and ladies wear gloves. But evil still hides beneath the most refined exteriors.
